> People love DeepL translations for the same reason, that they sound convincing, even though they are often completely wrong.

Could you show examples?

I'm using DeepL to translate things form and to languages that I know very well, usually to double check or get additional inspiration for wording. I've never experienced anything that was completely wrong. The translations are most of the time almost perfect.

But maybe it's a question of language pairs.

The examples I know of all involve Japanese light novels translated to English. For example https://twitter.com/Xythar/status/1405658562378952705 (The tweet author is someone I know, not me.) Other cases are fan TLs of novels that I've read which were done through DeepL, so I can't link them.
